“…the reason ARKO shipped looking like a serious enterprise product instead of a startup MVP”
Goce joined DevSecAI at the very start, when ARKO was just a name and an idea. He built the entire visual system from zero: the logo, the proportion guide, the product UI, the website, the enterprise data sheets. Every screen a CISO sees from us went through him. What sets him apart is that he actually understands the security domain. He sat in on threat modeling workshops, asked the right questions, and translated AI security concepts into design that developers and CISOs both trust. Rare combination, and the reason ARKO shipped looking like a serious enterprise product instead of a startup MVP.

“Goce is much more than a graphic designer. He has been instrumental to defining a clear vision for my brand.”
Goce is much more than a graphic designer. He has been instrumental to defining a clear vision for my brand. He provides a constructive and methodical approach to branding and seeks feedback often to ensure that the end product fits the company’s mission. I’ve used him three times so far to update logo and branding and he is currently working on the UX and design for my main website.

“…his ability to listen and ask questions to understand the goals of the project and execute it right the first time.”
Goce has many abilities and leverages these skills when collaborating on a project. He is very personable, professional, confident and a great communicator. Goce’s strongest skill is his ability to listen and ask questions to understand the goals of the project and execute it right the first time. The revision process can be challenging with most designers, but not with Goce.

“Goce has been extremely helpful in providing options and explaining the nuances and how the public will perceive them.”
Goce has designed from scratch the entire corporate branding including logo of the parent company. Since the conglomerate is expanding the business operations in multiple business verticals, it was a very challenging task to come up with a style that would properly convey the overall mission of the parent company (i.e. Bringing human touch to a high-tech company.) Goce has been extremely helpful in providing options and explaining the nuances and how the public will perceive them. […] Working with Goce was incredible. He was very responsive and has been working long hours in order to deliver for very tight deadlines. We are so impressed by his wealth of creativity and branding and marketing expertise but most importantly by his exceptional ability to execute.

“Truth be told, his vision made the result way beyond what I had in mind.”
Goce is a very patient and professional designer. He did the logo design for my company and was flawless executing all of my requirements. Truth be told, his vision made the result way beyond what I had in mind. Great working with him and I highly recommend.

“…drove us through the intricacies of defining the brand persona and its characteristics as a seasoned advisor”
We needed to get our brand to stand on its legs, and Goce was the key resource to make it happen. He is a very hard working individual who drove us through the intricacies of defining the brand persona and its characteristics as a seasoned advisor, so that the resulting outlook actually reflected our own ideas and perspectives. He impressed us with his extensive expertise on brand archetypes, and the overall outcome was totally worth the cost.

“To date I have worked with Goce on three different projects, each one a massive success in its own right.”
Goce was the brand consultant and designer for my wealth management firm. From our first point of contact I felt confident that Goce understood the company. To date I have worked with Goce on three different projects, each one a massive success in its own right. Branding and open communication: I would recommend Goce.

“We have been working together for some time, and I must admit that I have adopted some of his skill sets.”
Goce is a very talented marketer. He has special skills that create the perfect branding with the right tone of voice. He understands what it takes, how hard it is to make the best choices, and how it needs to generate the right outcome that resonates with the audience. We have been working together for some time, and I must admit that I have adopted some of his skill sets.
